You don’t need a yacht (although we’re manifesting it) to dress like you summer in the South of France. The old money aesthetic is all about timeless style, understated luxury, and looking like you’re always five steps away from a glass of chilled white wine at a coastal villa.
Even if quiet luxury isn’t dominating TikTok right now, the elegance of the old money aesthetic never really goes out of style—especially in the summer months.
Think: breathable fabrics, neutral tones, crisp tailoring, and accessories that say, I don’t check the price tag (even if that’s not the case—I know I do).
If you’re traveling this summer or just want to romanticize your daily walks and weekend getaways, these 11 old money travel outfits are here to elevate your vibe.

1. The Effortless Button-Up Combo
A crisp white button-up shirt is non-negotiable in an old money wardrobe. Wear it slightly oversized, half-tucked into ivory or beige tailored shorts. Add gold hoops and tortoiseshell sunnies. Easy, breezy, rich aunt energy (my favorite type of energy, I gotta say).

2. Cardi & White Basics
Cardigans aren’t just for cooler months. A pastel yellow cardi, layered over a white tank and flowy white wide-leg pants is the perfect airport-to-lunch outfit. Add ballet flats and a structured tote so you can have your essentials all at hand. This look screams I own a summer house in Provence.

3. Neutral Dress & Tan Accents
A soft, off-white mini dress paired with a lightweight caramel sweater over the shoulders is an old money summer staple. Finish with tan sandals, a tan shoulder bag, and delicate gold jewelry. Perfect for wandering local markets or a fancy seaside brunch.

4. The Strapless Sundress
A black, strapless midi dress with a shirred bodice and a-line silhouette is one of those “pack and wear everywhere” pieces. Style it with a straw top-handle bag, comfy sandals, and slicked-back hair. It’s polished without trying too hard—exactly the point.

5. Tenniscore, but Elevated
Whether you play tennis or just want the vibe, a white pleated tennis dress looks put together on and off the court. Pair with white sneakers, high socks, a minimalist crossbody, and sleek sunnies. You’ll look like you’re on your way to the country club—even if you’re just grabbing coffee.
